In the 2022 elections, the Congress had gained a significant majority of 40 seats. In early 2024, the BJP won a Rajya Sabha election with the cross-voting of 6 Congress MLAs.[4] These MLAs led a rebellion against Sukhu, were disqualified and joined the BJP. However in the bypolls which followed, Congress won four seats and BJP won only two.[5]
